I can't think of her as (being) dead.

Hi

Are these sentences equally natural?

I can't think of her as being dead.
I can't think of her as dead.

Thanks,

Thanks, Blue Jay.

And which one is a native speaker going down the street more likely to say?

...as being dead.
...as dead.

I'd say:
1- ''I can't wrap my head around her...''
...being dead.
2- ''I can't fathom her'' OR
3- ''It's (too) painful to think of her''
..as dead.
